NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Steel is the most notable of spring pro
ductions. In itself, of course it is nothing
novel, but such a veritable shower of steel
as now descends upon us, is rather a sur
prising fact in the history of dress. Begin
ning with the new bonnet, it covers the en
tire outlet; even peeping out from the
spring slippers. In milliner', we have
braids, cords, beads, ornaments; fringes,
bees, embroideries of steel, to say nothing
of steel net works and gauzes laden with
steel spangles. On costumes, these ideas
are repeated, while out door garments are
stylishly ornamented with finishings of the
same character. So you see that steel can
hardly be misplaced, but it is most tascful
when combined with black. A moment's
reflection suffices to show the refinement ol
a black satin costume trimmed with steel,
and in tho way of a bonnet, nothing is more
riuittly ch'gaut than siiiillar combinations.
But where steel is united with colors, clients
are frequently in dubious taste. This in
deed is a mild way of putting it, for to tell
the truth plainly results are oftentimes
very bad. Everything that glitters how
ever, is fashionable. Jet is eagerly sought
after for this season; gilt is in great de
mpvi and irridecent beads are also very
popular. Trimmings of materml are in as
much vogue as ever and disposed iu much
the same way as formerly; that is in kilt
plaitings, box pluitings, gathered cullies,
chirrings, etc.
OUT DOOR GARMENTS.
Everybody you meet wears something dif
ferent, but one is as fashionable as tho
other. Jackets,visitcs circulars,cape8,ulsters,
redingotes, polctots coats all arc stylish.
Now when I go on to say that each ono of
the above names represents not ono gar
ment alone, but a number of garments dif
fering in miuor points, one can form some
idea of the variety. In tho jacket family
for instance, we have at least a doen dif
ferent shapes; some cut away,- others
straight, others long, others short, somo
with hoods, some with capes, etc., etc.
Last but not least comes the Mother Hub
bard, with shirring at tho neck and 6levees
and" a very handsome adaptatiore ot tho
Mother Hubbard, called tho Solana visite,
which is shirred into tho figure and has tho
slevecs shirred also.
EA8TKR BONNETS.
Small shapes, fitting close to tho head, aro
a leading style, but poke bonnets not a
few appear. Flowers aro used in profusion
and there is a manifest preference tor small
or medium sizes, rather than largo ones.
But in all, wo seo tho effects of that "shad
ing," which is now so prominent. In mas
ses of small flowers thcro aro constant
alternations, from light to dark, or vico
versa, while sprays aro almost Invariably
shaded from palo to bright. Tho same
graduating tones aro noticcablo in silks
and ribbons and when skilfully arranged,
produco beautiful results. Most of tho
now ribbons, in consequence, aro very wide,
so as to givo room forun hscnsiblo transi
tion and with the same view, very wido
strings aro of silk doubled and fringed on
tho ends. Yet narrow ribbons aro not
prohibited, but theso aro exceptions.
Quite new silks and ribbons, however, are
uniform in color, and will bo worn because
tho shaded aro oxpensivo. Porcupine
straws am tho nowest for gcnoral wear, bo
ing so-called bocauso woven with sharp
projections all over tho surface An do-
gant bonnet, lately chosen by Sarah Bern
hardt, is of open work Tuscan straw in
poko shapo. Tho brim is facod with pule
bluo satin and folds of blue shaded satin
1881.
are laid around the crown. A cluster of
pale coral pink flowers ornaments tho left
side in front, and the Btrings are of shaded
blue silk a quarter of a yard wide.
MATE111AL8 AND COSTUMES.
New grenadines are covered with checks
and plaids of every size, but importations
of very thin woolens havo interferred with
the sale of grenadines as well also as that
ol buntings. Many of theso woolens are
plain woven and in solid colors, yet
others are provided with a bright border
and others again are in open work checks
and plaids. A spring costumo now being
made for Mmo Gerster is of very thin
woolen'in palo coachman's drab combined
with bluo dotted satin. Tho Pamela
basque is shirred at tho waint in tho mid
dle of the frltit and buck and the celestino
skirt is trimmed with rufllos of satin and
bunting alternating. Another dress for
the same prima donna is a Theo. costume
of striped silk with dark olive green satin
skirt. The polonaise of silk, shows tho
front and sides cut off to the depth of an
ordinary basque while below is a plaited
scarf drapery across tho front and tho back
Hanging long and draped irreirularly. The
gored skirt is covered on the front and
Bides with horizontal shirriugs.

having ten ribs aud the handle, entirely
within the outer covering while tho shape
is remarkably graceful. It comes in all
grades, from the cheapest to the costliest
and endless variety as to color, material.
etc. This, indeed, is a necessity as "high
style" now requires the pamsol to match
the dress, and thus renders it much more
important than formerly.
Eeckerlaer's toilet soaps aro chiefly used
by our best classes, because of their re
markablo purity and fine perfume There
aro a good many different kinds and where
all are excellent, it is hard to discriminate,
but, pcrhnps, the most sought after aro the
Bouquet of Violets, Jockey Club, Wood
Violet and Baby Soap. I mention this be
cause in warm weather, toilet aitiolos be
come doubly important. Lucy Carter.

Trouble at the Illinois Capital.
Si'itLWEiio, III., May 3. Employes
in the steel melting department of tho roll

of the steel department and have conclud
ed to discharge the men and closo down

out of employment.
A Terrorized Community,
Washington, D. C, May ''3. Internal
Revenue Agent Trucie.oporuting m Franklin
county, Va., writes Commissioner Ratim a d
tailed account of the attempt to capture tho
notorious Davo Gillespie. The officer offer
ed f 100 reward to tho person who will
lodge Gillespie in jail, "but few," ho says,
"seem anxious to undertake to enpturo this
notorious deperado."' Tho report says:
"Since my ruin in Runnett Ihy the 20th
Gillespio and his crowd have committed
shameful outrages among innocent colored
poople in that neighborhood, whom they
charged with giving information to revenue
officers. They wont in digitise, and whipped
men and women, robbed one or two of
money, destroyed thoir property, drove
them from thoir homes, somo of them half
nakOd, and formed thirteen of them into
ono party on the road to West Virginia,
and ordered tliein to leavo on penalty of
death it they returned. This revival of ku
kluxism by illicit distillori and their friends
in tho mountains of Franklin has ter
rorized colored citizens to bucIi nn extent
that they aro afraid eveu to speak of tho
outrages, much less condemn them. There
is no such thing in Franklin county ou tho
part of responsible citizens as sympathy for
enforcement of tho laws regarding tho
making or selling of spirits, nor stato or
national."

Irrefutable Evidence
"Prisoner," said Judge Rix to a hare
looking customer the other morning,
"tho docket is very crowded, and, aa
tho evidence against you ia unmistak
ably plain, you will save valuable time
by pleading guilty."
'Couldn't think of it, your honor."
"But you wore caught in the very act
of crawling into the back window of
jewelry store"
"I wo a little full, your honor, and
mistook it for my own house."
"But you had a kit of burglars' tools
in your pocket"
'Must have put on tho wrong coat by
mistake, your honor. Had Just come
from tho club, and thcro wore a lot of
stockbrokers' ulstors hanging on tho
same rack."
"But your confederate, 'Splkey Jim,
has turned state's evidence."
"I know the circumstances are against
me, your honor, but I havo Borne testi
mony to produce that will make that
all right,"
"leu, may it please tho court," con
tinued tho defendant, calmly, "I desire
to prove bv soveral witnesses that I
could havo been elected to tho Logisla
turo from the Sixteenth district if I
hadn't declined the nomination."
"What has that to do with thocaso?"
asked his honor, reappearing abovo his
desk, behind which hn had just stooped
to inko a llying nip from tho Sheriff's
flask.
"Why everything in tho world, your
honor. Do you suppose that If I was a
stealing man, I wouldn't be at Sacra
mento this session?"
"Tho prisoner is discharged," said
tho judge. '-Next casol"
Woman's "Soothing Influence.''
Tho admission of "fair woman" as a
member of the London School Beard
does not seem to havo produced that
peaceful calm which tho goutler sex Is
supposed to bring with it. At a bte
meeting the Chairman said ho must
call Miss Taylor to order. She was
traveling oufcside of her amendment
Miss Taylor " ou nro not the
Speaker of the House of Commons, sir."
Tho Chairman "It is true that I am
not the Speaker of the Houso of Com
mons, but I om Chairman of this Board,
and don't profess to bo moro."
When tho resolution was moved pro
tests against it wore offered by Mr.
Cover, Dr. Wainwright, Mrs. Surr, and
Miss Taylor. Tho latter complained
that the samo measure which was meted
out to ono section of tho Board was not
muted out to another.
